500 ml green bottle, many thanks to the ever attentive yngwie, who this way gave me a new "beer country" on my list. ABV is 4.8%. Appears to be imported to Sweden via France. Golden colour, large and lasting white head. "Skunky" Heineken-like aroma (which I do not necessarily find horrible) , also some less pleasant vegetable notes. The flavour is first slightly citrussy and refrehing, then overtaken by unpleasant notes of cardboard, over-boiled vegetables, dust and metallic hop extract. Disgusting aftertaste. Sure, you could probably survive on Kilikia in the Armenian summer heat, but there is hardly any reason to export this stuff.

Cask halfpint at The White Hart (a Harvey’s pub), Crawley. ABV 3.5%. Deep golden color, no head. Minimal aroma. Fairly dry flavour, some tingling fruity and herbal English hops make the beer quite drinkable, but this is not an IPA (neither historical nor modern) by any stretch of the mind. 2nd rating: 500 ml bottle, from Seven Cellars. ABV is 3.5%. Clear copper colour, moderate white head. Moderate but nice aroma of malts, toffee and a faint hint of dark berries. Light bodied as expected, but not too bad for its low ABV. The flavour is mid between dry and sweet, and has the same elements as the aroma, also some nutty hints, with moderate but noticeable earthy hops in the finish. A decent ordinary bitter, but certainly no IPA.
